Structural steel fixings manufacturer, Ancon Building Products, has had its commitment to business excellence recognised with long tenure awards for two of the industry’s key systems management standards.

The awards, which were presented by BSI (British Standards Institution), mark over 20 years of continuous certification of Ancon’s quality management system under ISO 9001 and over 10 years’ tenure of ISO 14001 certification for its environmental management system.

To maintain these internationally recognised certifications, which form the framework for quality in all of the company’s systems and processes, Ancon has demonstrated effective control and improvement in every area of its business, from purchasing and materials inspection to employee training, product design and manufacturing, with BSI inspectors monitoring progress via systematic biannual assessments.

ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 have not only been an invaluable tool in shaping Ancon’s first class management systems, they have provided an impetus for continuous improvement over the last 20 years, particularly in sustainability areas, like energy efficiency and waste management, which are now critical to ongoing business success.

In addition, Ancon holds OHSAS 18001 certification for its occupational health and safety management system.
